Canada

The languages spoken most in Canada are English and French. The money we use is Canadian dollars. Canada is part of the Commonwealth Nations and the head of state is the prime minister.

Since we are travelling in the North East of the country we see mostly ice and rocky islands. We are travelling through a city called Hopedale. Late we will arrive in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. We will also visit Glace Bay and Sydney Mines.

The temperature in September averages 17-18 degrees Celsius. We are wearing trousers, t-shirst, sweaters and we have brought a coat in case it starts raining.

We were not required to have any vaccinations before coming to this part of Canada.
